What is the original source of hydroelectric energy

1 answer:

6 0

Differences in land elevation result in rainfall runoff, and allow some of the original solar energy to be captured as hydro-electric power (Figure 1). Hydro power is currently the world's largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of worldwide energy supply or about 15% of the world's electricity.

hope this helps

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is

notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Here s = 400 radians

t = 8 s

a = 5 rad/s²

Substituting

400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

u = 30 rad/s

Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

Here u = 30 rad/s

t = 8 s

a = 5 rad/s²

Substituting

v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s

Final angular speed = 70 rad/s

two objects are thrown from the top of a tall building and experience no appreciable air resistance. one is thrown up and the ot

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two objects are traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, an object that is thrown up from the top of a tall building has the same speed as the second object thrown down from the top of the same tall building since the initial speed is the same.

The object thrown up is not traveling faster neither is the object thrown down traveling faster.

Therefore, the two objects will have the same speed when they hit the ground but their time of landing might be different.

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

$E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}$

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL² will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn = normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

What is an example of a negative incentive for producers

Hatshy [7]

An example of a negative incentive for producers is the sharp increase in production costs. Producers are the one who manage the production costs and even the production budget. Anything that relates the production department is entitled to the management of production producers.

There is what we called positive and negative incentives and both of these can affect consumers and producers. Positive incentives are those situations which will give a certain outcome that will benefit the producers, for example, during the peak season there will be a high demand of products, and this gives the chance of producers to demand a higher price from the consumers, in this situation, there will be a big chance of increase sales. A sharp increase in production costs is a loss for the producers. If there will be an increase in production costs, the budget will be greatly affective and even though it is not a peak season, there’s a big chance also to increase prices which we know, consumers are not fond of.
